Reset the Bandwidth Distribution

You can reset the bandwidth to default settings so that the router allocates each type
of application or device an equal share of the bandwidth. You can reset the bandwidth
distribution for download bandwidth and upload bandwidth separately.
To reset the bandwidth to default settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select QoS.
The Bandwidth Allocation pane displays a graph that shows the devices on the router
network. By default, each device is allocated an equal share of the router bandwidth,
expressed by a number in a white circle that is associated with a device.
5. Above the graph, select either the Download radio button or Upload radio button.
If you reset the download bandwidth, the allocated upload bandwidths are not
affected. The other way around is also true: If you reset the upload bandwidth, the
allocated download bandwidths are not affected.

The default bandwidths take effect.
